This reference guide provides detailed discussions of over fifty
movies about American politics and politicians. In an introduction,
the author describes how the political genre has evolved over the
past seventy years. Then, in his discussions of individual films,
arranged in alphabetical order, Keyishian shows how the patterns in
the genre have played out over the decades. Concepts covered in the
entries include the portrayal of redeeming politicians in the films
of the 1930s, such as Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) and the
corrupting quality of politics found in post-World War II films
such as All the King's Men (1949). Film historians, scholars and
critics will find this to be an invaluable resource, and it may
enhance the experience for the informed film viewer.
